Update (2/15 6:16 a.m.): They've added a headline show at Berlin's Lollapalooza on September 11.

In January, fans speculated that a new album was coming when it was revealed that the band had registered a new company called Dawn Chorus LLP. It was notable because the band also established companies before the surprise releases of both In Rainbows and The King of Limbs.

The band has been working on the new LP for a while. In separate interviews given in 2015, Jonny Greenwood and Philip Selway discussed the band's progress, with Selway saying the recording would become "quite a full schedule" in September. They were then photographed in the studio back in September, right before Dawn Chorus was established. In October, Greenwood shot down reports that the album was completed, but said they had completed "lots" and were about to go through it.
